RESET GPS RECEIVER
The command,
RGPS
, completely resets the GPS receiver. This is a radical procedure
and should only be done if the receiver fails to acquire satellites. The
RGPS
command
returns the receiver to default values. Next, a self-test is performed on the receiver. If
the self-test is successful, a pass message is included in the response. An
unsuccessful self-test will provide a numeric code in the self-test status message. The
entire process takes about 10-12 seconds. At this point, the receiver will perform as if it
has just arrived from the factory. It may take 20 to 30 minutes to achieve first fix. This
command is only available in
Test Mode
. To issue a GPS reset, follow the example
below:
Type:
TM ON <ent>
